The Donmar's artistic director Michael Longhurst said he was "so excited to witness David Tennant's portrayal" of Macbeth.
David said: "The first Shakespeare I ever read was Macbeth. It's a play that has haunted me for as long as I can remember.
"To be playing this part, in the unique and intimate Donmar Warehouse, directed by the brilliant Max Webster is daunting and humbling, but most of all... thrilling."
He has previously played the role in an audio adaptation of the play, which aired on BBC Radio 4 last year.
Macbeth will mark the conclusion of the 30th birthday season of the Donmar, a prestigious theatre in London's Covent Garden, which is is currently staging Noël Coward's Private Lives.
